Paragraph excerpt from #CalmLikeHome

“The realization hits me then. That had been me. I had been in love, all out explosive, passionate love. It had consumed me, knocked me sideways. It brought me sight when I’d never even known I was blind. It breathed new life into me. It made me feel whole when I had never even realized that some part of me was missing. I drank in the feeling, soaked it in through every pore, let it devour me because I was certain it would never leave. But instead it had twisted up inside me, changed me so entirely that without it I was lost. Without it I was a shell, a broken fragment of what I had once been. All that remained was the knowledge that for a fleeting moment I had been in love. I had been complete. I had been truly alive.”
